The YotaPhone team has revealed that it's joined forces with Bookmate, Russia’s fastest growing digital reading platform. The handset promises to let you browse books and magazines with virtually no power drain – you don’t even have to wake up the phone.

Let’s hope that the Bookmate deal is a sign of things to come when the YotaPhone is rolled out internationally – if they palled up with the likes of Nook or Amazon, this could be the Kindle Phone we've been waiting for. With Amazon selling Kindle hardware at a loss to make digital sales, that doesn’t seem impossible.
